Exploring the time axis within medium-modified jets

In this manuscript, we illustrate how to use the newly proposed τ re-clustering algorithm to select jets with different degrees of quenching without biasing their initial transverse momentum spectrum. Our study is based on Z+jet simulated events using the JEWEL Monte Carlo event generator to account for jet quenching effects. We apply the τ re-clustering algorithm to extract a proxy for a time axi

Performance of the ATLAS forward proton Time-of-Flight detector in Run 2

We present performance studies of the Time-of-Flight (ToF) subdetector of the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detector at the LHC. Efficiencies and resolutions are measured using high-statistics data samples collected at low and moderate pile-up in 2017, the first year when the detectors were installed on both sides of the interaction region. While low efficiencies are observed, of the order of a few p

A Fast Rotating-Mirror Sounder for Dynamic Millimeter-Wave Channel Characterization

A deep understanding of double-directional wireless channels is imperative for wireless system design. This necessitates the development of precise channel models through channel sounding. Given the dynamic nature of wireless channels, a short measurement time is highly desirable. In this paper, we present and validate a dual-polarized millimeter-wave channel sounder that uses a rotating mirror me

Subspace Correction and Domain Decomposition Methods for Total Variation Minimization

The minimization of the total variation is a well-established technique of preservingedges and discontinuities. Therefore it has wide applicability in image processing,where one is interested in recovering a corrupted image while preserving edges inthe image. In the last decades, in the literature, there have been introduced manydifferent approaches and algorithms for minimizing the total variatio

Conditionals

Soloexhibition in Berlin.A conditional sentence is formed by a main clause (the consequence), a conjunction (if), and a conditional clause (the condition). There are four standard types of conditionals. Cesarco’s exhibition proceeds from the given to the not given, comparing what is with what could be or might have been. In some ways, this is equivalent to what happens in the studio, or what happe

Lessons from the 'Dark' Side: Emotional Labour and Positioning in Cross-Sectoral Collaborations

Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is important in handling complex societal problems. Even if collaborating is acknowledged as contributing towards societal change and innovation, collaborators’ emotional experiences during development, consolidation and completion of a given project are underexplored. This article discusses emotional labour in three cross-sectoral collaborations u

Clinicopathologic Features of Oculopharyngodistal Myopathy with LRP12 CGG Repeat Expansions Compared with Other Oculopharyngodistal Myopathy Subtypes

Importance: Repeat expansion of CGG in LRP12 has been identified as the causative variation of oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM). However, to our knowledge, the clinicopathologic features of OPDM with CGG repeat expansion in LRP12 (hereafter referred to as OPDM_LRP12) remain unknown. Objective: To identify and characterize the clinicopathologic features of patients with OPDM_LRP12. Design, Setti

The role of magnetic fields for planetary formation

The role of magnetic fields for the formation of planets is reviewed. Protoplanetary disc turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability has a huge influence on the early stages of planet formation. Small dust grains are transported both vertically and radially in the disc by turbulent diffusion, counteracting sedimentation to the mid-plane and transporting crystalline material from the ho

Regulating Quantum Computers: Insights into early patterns and trends in academic regulatory conversations on 'Quantum Revolution'

These days, talk of quantum technologies and the coming “quantum revolution” or “quantum leap” is hard to miss. There is a broad agreement that quantum technologies have a high probability of becoming the next disruptive technological development, and the way they should be regulated and the timing of such intervention are issues that are attracting increasing attention. An analysis of how these q

Design optimisation methodology of a high-speed switched reluctance motor for automotive traction applications

This paper forms part of a broader study on the design and optimisation of a high speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for hybrid-electrical automotive traction applications. The main focus of this particular paper is to explain the design optimisation methodology followed. Furthermore, the main aim of the motor design is to push the power density of the SRM as high as possible. This leads to num

Automated spectrometer alignment via machine learning

During beam time at a research facility, alignment and optimization of instrumentation, such as spectrometers, is a time-intensive task and often needs to be performed multiple times throughout the operation of an experiment. Despite the motorization of individual components, automated alignment solutions are not always available. In this study, a novel approach that combines optimisers with neura

Performance Analysis of Centrifugal Compressor Stage using Detailed Component Level Measurements

This paper deals with the component level breakdown of performance characteristics of a centrifugal compressor using detailed measurements. The compressor stage used for Heavy-Duty applications consisting of the impeller, vaneless diffuser, and volute has been experimentally tested in a gas stand. Several static pressure measurements combined with total pressure and temperature measurements on the

Can Urinary Bladder Innervation Be Restored After Outlet Obstruction and Denervation?

Transurethral resection of the prostate, or other methods to decrease outlet resistance usually leads to relief of symptoms in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). If symptoms of underactivity persist after normalization of outflow conditions, treatment options are limited. In this review, we hypothesize, based on results from basic research, what might become treatment options for such

Generating gravitational waveform libraries of exotic compact binaries with deep learning

Current gravitational wave (GW) detections rely on the existence of libraries of theoretical waveforms. Consequently, finding new physics with GWs requires libraries of nonstandard models, which are computationally demanding. We discuss how deep learning frameworks can be used to generate new waveforms "learned"from a simulation dataset obtained, say, from numerical relativity simulations. Concret

Harmonizing tau positron emission tomography in Alzheimer's disease: The CenTauR scale and the joint propagation model

INTRODUCTION: Tau-positron emission tomography (PET) outcome data of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) cannot currently be meaningfully compared or combined when different tracers are used due to differences in tracer properties, instrumentation, and methods of analysis. METHODS: Using head-to-head data from five cohorts with tau PET radiotracers designed to target tau deposition in AD, we te

Tailored Dose-Dense Versus Standard Adjuvant Chemotherapy for High-Risk Early Breast Cancer: End-of-Study Results of the Randomized PANTHER Trial

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has

Body mass index and risk of over 100 cancer forms and subtypes in 4.1 million individuals in Sweden : the Obesity and Disease Development Sweden (ODDS) pooled cohort study

BACKGROUND: Obesity, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is an established risk factor for 13 cancers. We aimed to identify further potential obesity-related cancers and to quantify their association with BMI relative to that of established obesity-related cancers.METHODS: Using Cox regression models on 4,142,349 individuals in Sweden (mean age 27.1 years at weight measurement), we calculated hazar
